Its named after a Tuppenny Upright - one of the services offered by Victorian whores.

With inflation, what would that be worth nowadays?

Swindon's most notorious Victorian pub for offering services, was the Rhinoceros in Little London.  Sadly no longer extant.

I used to run my business from Little London Court - I thought it was purpose-built offices.

Handy for The Roaring Donkey, though.

Is that not a bit pretentious? I'm not saying they should have a fridge full of wkd blue and Smirnoff ice but what's the reason for no mainstream beers of larger?

For anyone finding it a bit pretentious, there's a 1000 other pubs serving mainstream beer....

That sounds ace, not that I venture out too often, but there will be a load of us out in a couple of weeks so will make sure I pop in.

Great to see a new Ale pub opening in Swindon,I shall definitely pop in next time I'm in town.
West Berkshire Good Old Boy is a decent pint,I've tried it at the Tally Ho in Hungerford Newtown,a community pub that's well worth a visit.
I'm a big fan of Ramsbury Gold which is a great summer pint.
I think they sell a Ramsbury at the Hop as the house beer.
Ramsbury do a Vodka too which I've not tried yet.
There's some great Beer out there!
This time of year is all about Porter for me.
Box steam and Fullers London Porter  are very good, and Wickwar's Station Porter is sensational!
Christmas really starts for me with the first pint of Bath Ales Festivity from the tap.
I always treat myself to a Microcask at Christmas.

Both the London Porter and Festivity are bloody great.
